Abstract: The goal of this study is to find out how digital media affects students' vocabulary learning. Most studies have focused on improving students' vocabulary acquisition through traditional teaching methods, but the current study focuses on enhancing students' vocabulary learning using computer assisted learning method. The study highly benefits both language teachers and students in developing their vocabulary knowledge in interactive ways. A mixed research approach (quantitative and qualitative) was used in this study. The participants in this study were selected using a sample random sampling technique. The total number of the respondents is 230 undergraduate Engineering students from two private universities in Chennai, India. In this study, 153 male and 77 female students participated as a sample. A questionnaire was used as data gathering tool. The questionnaire consists 12 items. Excel software was employed to analyze the collected data. The findings of the study reveal that students have positive attitudes toward using technology in the classroom to develop their vocabulary knowledge. The findings also show that digital media helps students expand their vocabulary more effectively than traditional methods. Besides, the findings reveal that students feel more motivated to learn new vocabulary using digital media when compared to traditional methods, and digital media offers a more interactive and engaging way to learn vocabulary. In addition, the study suggests that English teachers should use digital media in the classroom to enhance learners' vocabulary learning.
